Oh WOW, this is a great post & you have the most gorgeous site here. I had to stop by to leave this comment for you – and to say hello of course ! Your posts are creative and original and you have interesting pictures. It's all perfect ! Thank you for sharing your site and best wishes….

How can you have a sleeve slimmed down in the upper arm? If the scye (armhole) is cut too large, then its too large… I don't really see how you can alter that… That is a big problem on most RTW coats nowadays. Anyone?

Nice shot, Sart! Love the sunglasses, haircut, and ivory trousers. You say: "The big trick to why this jacket looks so cool is how slim the sleeve is in the upper arm." Well, for those of us chaps who work out and play rugby and therefore have large biceps, what do you suggest?

I scrolled down too excitedly today and i ended up combining images– suddenly the double breasted peacoat was being worn with the with the blue pocket dress while the mans contortional posture looked horrible, the outfit still looked pretty good.

I think the issue is that everyone's clothes should fit well. If you have big biceps (like my husband and others) you will need a bigger sleeve. If you are more slender, you will look good in a jacket that fits your thinner body. If a man wears a women's jacket to get the best fit, so what? I sometimes buy shirts in the children's department, because they fit better. Buy what works and rip the label out!

I love that scarves are coming back into fashion…for both men and women! I love the ultra long scarf on the man above. Anything to lengthen the look is a good thing in my opinion.http://www.scarvesofgrace.com

I completely agree with you that not enough men have their sleeves slimmed down. However, one thing I think you should point out and which you would have noticed is just how high the armhole itself is cut – it's not an oblong shape, but more rounded and that makes a critical difference in fit and elevates the sophistication of the jacket. Ultimately, the wearer just looks better.

Sart, you are so right. I also have a fetish that demands my jackets fit the contours of my chest. I see men wearing jackets that have a permanent fold of fabric between the armpit and the chest. It dulls the senses, especially on a DB coat. I buy RTW coats with primary focus on my chest/waist not my back/lats.
